Simple Summers (versión 2)

Intro

(uh)

Yeah

Verse 1

Used to ride my bike until the streetlights came on

Used to think the summer was a thing that lasted long

Now the days move faster than I ever thought they could

Blink and there's a decade gone, blink and there's a whole neighborhood

Changed beyond recognition, the house got sold last spring

New family in my bedroom, different curtains hanging

I drove by just to look and didn't even slow the car

Some things you gotta let stay exactly where they are

Pre-Chorus

And I didn't know that growing up meant losing

(meant losing, meant losing)

Pieces of a world I wasn't through with using

(meant losing, meant losing)

Chorus

I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact

Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back

But I carry every single one of them inside

Even when the world moves on, the memory don't subside

(uh, oh-oh)

I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact

(uh, oh-oh)

Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back

Verse 2

I still remember the smell of cut grass after rain

Still remember running til my lungs would feel the strain

Didn't know that I was building a museum in my chest

Didn't know that childhood was a thing I'd come to miss the best

Now I'm grown and chasing things that matter more, supposedly

But some nights I'd trade it all for one more sticky summer evening

With my whole life still unwritten, still a blank and open page

Before I understood the weight that comes along with age

Pre-Chorus

And I didn't know that growing up meant losing

(meant losing, meant losing)

Pieces of a world I wasn't through with using

(meant losing, meant losing)

Chorus

I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact

Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back

But I carry every single one of them inside

Even when the world moves on, the memory don't subside

(uh, oh-oh)

I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact

(uh, oh-oh)

Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back

Bridge

Carry it inside

(carry it inside)

Even when it's gone

(even when it's gone)

The kid I was is still in here

Still humming our old song

Chorus

I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact

Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back

But I carry every single one of them inside

Even when the world moves on, the memory don't subside

(uh, oh-oh)

I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact

(uh, oh-oh)

Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back

Outro

(uh)

Still humming our old song

Yeah
